By EULA N. GREENWOOD
(Crowded put Last Week)
TWO VIEWS. . .Has Wake
Forest College done the right
thing in letting down the bars
for Negroes to attend that in
stitution ?
The majority of the Baptists
in North’ Carolina would
doubtless vote a ’ resounding
“No”. The pastors of the Baptist
churches in North Carolina
say, just as vigorously, “Yes”.
A lot of questions are brought
up by the decision, one of them
being: .“Does Wake Forest Col
lege represent the Baptists or
the heads of Baptist churches?”
The college, everything con
sidered, had little choice but to
integrate. Since before the days
of Dr. William Louis Poteat
Wake Forest has been known
as a truly liberal school. Not
: liberal in the political sense
necessarily (which is a breed of
Liberalism all its own), but in
various ways.
While a lot of friends of Wake
in Raleigh—and they are legion
here —are sure the old school j
has taken the high road history
‘ has paved for her, they worry
that the decision to enroll Ne
groes could interfere seriously
with certain sources of income
so important to the future
, growth of the college. Schools
which bow blindly to wealth
die. . . spiritually. And that
brings up the question of the
definition of “growth” . . .what
is it? That’s where we came in:
see the question we opened with
above. Integration troubles have
all but closed one college—Ne
gro too.
SERIOUSLY ILL, at Rex
‘Hospital here is Mrs.
Claude F. Gaddy, wife of one
great men North Carolina has
produced, educationally, this
century. He headed Baptist ed
ucation, was formerly Raleigh
Schools superintendent. As of
this past weekend Mrs. Gaddy
was unable to have visitors. H
and fear was expressed she
might hot recover. Like
husband, Mrs. Gaddy is a nativs
of Union County. No finer peo
ple than the Gaddy’s exist-any
where.
DIFFERENCE . . .This for
mer Yankee got tired of the
corny old insults we Southerners
toss at folks' from the North.
Finally he put us in our place
by this:
“Well, as a matter of fact, I
think I’m a better Southerner
than you are. You came here by
birth. I came here by choice.”
COMMUTER. . .Such a man
is James G. Morton, who has
just been appointed special as
sistant to Federal Highway Ad
ministrator Rex M. Whitton.
Morton is a North Carolina
resident who formerly was vice
president of American Weekly,
Sunday newspaper insert.
. He has commuted by private
plane to Nags Head from New
York and Washington every
j week for years so that his
family might have the benefit
of living in North Carolina.
In his new capacity, Mr. Mor
ton will be in charge of public
affairs and information at the
Bureau of Public Roads, U. S.
Department of Commerce,
and one of the hundreds of as
sistants to Sect. Luther Hodges.

of Dr. Beverly Lake for Gover

THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C.
—leven though he personally
does not seem to be doing a
great deal to encourage it.
Friends and foes alike of Lake
agree on this: he seems to be
bearing down much, much less
on the colored issue—-and more
and more on his conservatism. :
Meantime, supporters are work
ing to sell Lake as the “only j
Democrat who can beat Jonas
in ‘64”.
This is going to take quite a
'bit of selling in some areas— |
and they ain’t 500 miles from j
the Mansion either. But it is
still an open question as to how
much power the Governor will
have among Democratic quart
ers two years from now. Other
than Lake, the Democrats don’t
seem to have a candidate as
yet.
If things along that line don’t
improve markedly within the
next 18 months, don’t be sur
prised if President Kennedy
1 and Governor Sanford join
. hands to lead a draft of Luther
'Hodges in 1964 as the man most
able to keep North Carolina
in the Demoratic column.
P. S. Should it happen, don’t
forget where you saw it first
If it doesn’t, just forget it.
THAT’S DIFFERENT . . .
Last Saturday afternoon we
were taking our maid home. Her
place is just across the street
from an apartment (white)
settlement. As we pulled to a
stop in front of her house, I
noticed four neatly dressed
little girls—three white and
one colored—playing prettily
in an apartment yard.
“Now isn’t that nice how
those little girls play together
that way”, we commented.
“Ho, ho, ho”, she laughed,
shaking all over. “That ain’t no
colored girl. No ma’m. She’s
Chinese. One over there a whole
lot darker than she is,too.”
FROM THE EIGHTH. . .
Since Lee is the Eighth District
county closest to Raleigh, we
get most of our word-of-mouth
reports of the Kennedy-Kitchin
affair from that area.
* Reports drift in that Kennedy
in his appearance in Lee a few
days' ago spent too much time
criticizing Congressman Kitch
in for what he had Not done
and far too little time discussing
what HE was going to do if
and when he got in. Since this
comes from people who ordi
narily would be expected to lean
to Kennedy, the criticism has
some merit.
LARGEST?. . . The current
issue of “Southern Advertising
and Publishing”, Atlanta month
ly edited and managed by Gar
land B. Porter, has 218 pages,
mostly advertising. Porter’s
folks are from Kernersville
(father) and Elkin (his mother
was a Cockerham). He at one
time edited the State News
Bureau; worked on the W-S
Journal; and was a UNC class
mate of Thomas Wolfe, Jona
than Daniels. Ad money ap
parently rolls Porterward these
days. . the result of hard work,
talent, experience, and N. C.
background.
NOT A WORD. . .The man
who writes some good editorals
in tire Laurinburg Exchange, a
paper which became well known
for them in the long editorship
of the late O. L. Moore, got in
to the food tax business the
other day.
It came about this way.
He had no doubt been hearing
a lot of cussing and discussing
of the item here and s there
since it went into effect last
July 1-and he asked for letters
to-the-editor comment. He re
marked that he is not particu
larly in favor of the tax, but
wanted to know the feelings of
his readers.
Well we, for one, wanted to
observe the thinking of the
people down In Scotland County,
for there is where Gov. Terry
Sanford was raised and where
his parents live.
A day, two days, three days,
and a week went by and no
letters. Not a word. Perhaps the
people down there against the
tax can't write—) if so, all the
! more reason for it) —but in any
event no letters came.
The editor ran a squib, an
nounced the results of his food
j tax letter quest, and moved on
to things of greater moment.
May be there is no interest
' either way. . .or that the letter-
I writers were behind with their
spring planting.
STILL AROUND. . .Last
week in one of those “looking
backward” columns, (which we
always find more interesting
.than the looking forward ditto)
we noted how ten years ago
May 2 Gov. Kerr Scott began
lambasting his budget director,
D. S. Coltrane. It was in 1952 —
last year of Kerr Scott’s term
in office—and a 35-year friend-!
ship had come to an end.
Scott accused Coltrane of
penny-pinching, holding up his
program, etc., then he forthwith
fired him.
But the man who as Assistant
Commissioner of Agriculture
from 1937-47 made it possible
for Commissioner Scott to be
out with the people refused to
be fired,. The Governor insisted.
Coltrane sat tight, said “noth
ing doing”. He found that he -
had been appointed for a four
year term.
Scott friends love it, but the

others said “poor Pave”.
Columnist Lynn Nisbet, no
body’s fool then oh now, wrote
about as follows: “Don’t worry
about Coltrane. It’s blackgum
agin hickory this time.” It was,
too. Gov. Scott found he could
stop Coltrane’s pay. .and he did.
But, fortunately, Mr. Coltrane
had a little money saved up. • .
and so he served for most of
1952—until the remainder of
Kerr Scott’s term—without a
cent of pay. These are facts.
When the 1953 Legislature
came to town-and Gov. Scott
had gone back to Haw River—
one of its first acts was to pay
D. S. Coltrane his back salary.
The strong, dynamic, hard
driving Kerr Scott went on to
the U. S. Senate, ever the fight
er ever the leader, never looking
back. But blaggum, like hick
ory, is tough, too, and D. S.
Coltrane looked after the State’s
purse strings for Governors
Umstead, Hodges, Sanford, and
last week the role of chairman
of the Advisory Budget Com
mission was added to his list of
duties. Almost ten years to the
day after the blast by Ken-
Scott.
THAT FIRST LETTER. , .
Mead Johnson & Co., makers of
a product used in weight loss
and control, has written some of
the papers using this column
(now being run in 38) protesting
the way. we used the name of
that product. If you recall, we
said that before 40 it’s wine,
women, and . song, (we had
, heard) and after 40: “Metrecal,
1 same old gal, sing along with
I Mitch.” J. T. Lanahan, assistant
counsel' for Metrecal manufac
turer, writes:
“We recently had Called to
our attention an article appear
ing in the April 5,1962 publica
tion of the News entitled “Cap
ital Clipboard” by Eula N.
Greenwood, in which reference
is made to our very well-known
trademark, “METRECAL”.
“Although we have no objec
tion to (and, indeed, we are
pleased by) anyone’s proper use
of our. . .trademark for our
brand of dietary for weight loss
[and control, we are concerned
! when any improper use is made
’of our. . .mark.
“You will note in the second
column, second paragraph, of
this article that the first 'letter
of the word. . as not capitalized
and that the word is used in
a generic sense. When our mark
is used in publications or art
icles in an improper way, it loses
its distinctive trademark qual
ity, and if such use is not care
fully policed, we could lose all
right to this valuable asset. Ac
cordingly, we request that when
our trademark is used in the
future, it be capitalized, spelled
correctly (Editor’s note:we spelt
it correctly) and not used in a
plural or possessive form.
“We would appreciate your
calling this letter to the atten
tion of the proper parties and
are completely confident that
you will understand the spirit in
which it is written. Your future
cooperation will be greatly ap
preciated.”
Well, folks, that’s the letter.
Some of the papers forwarded
it on to us. The laboratories
which compound the product are
in Evansville, Indiana, so the
papers of North i Carolina get
around. My husband got me into
the trouble. He told me the o
riginal story, said that Druggist
George Royall (former mayor
of Elkin) had told it to him at
Raleigh’s exclusive Sphinx Club.
And that’s the way it goes. . .
